Abstract
Abstract Views: 427
Nanotechnology is a groundbreaking field that manipulates materials at the nanoscale, enabling unprecedented control over their properties. In medicine, nanoparticles enable targeted drug delivery and precise diagnostics. In electronics, they contribute to miniaturized devices and high-performance sensors. Additionally, nanoparticles also encompass their role in environmental remediation techniques. The current review article aims to provide a comprehensive and updated overview of recent developments in nanotechnology by highlighting the key advancements, novel applications, and future directions. Moreover, this article also contributes to the current understanding and impact of nanotechnology on multiple sectors by providing valuable insights for future researchers. For this purpose, different preparation methods can be used to prepare nanoparticles and offer various advantages due to their varying size, as they can cross the blood- brain barrier and skin, they are used in cosmetics, and they have many applications in drug therapy and diagnostics.
